Words cannot describe. My lifelong dream was to do a Safari in the Serengeti, and there was never a moment of disappointment.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Pamela P.
This was our first destination so seeing the wildlife for the first time was exciting. The accommodations were great as was the chance to see all of the wildlife.

Review about Amboseli National Park by Pamela P.
Amboseli was particularly a wonderful experience because of all the elephants we saw and Mount Kilimanjaro.

Unforgettable.
Kenya is on a good way of helping to reestablish the numbers in the wildlife. The level of touristic services there is international, and one can find reasonable infrastructure in the country. In good time the Masai are changing their rites of passage and are willing not to kill lions anymore. Taking into account all the difficulties the nation faces the balance is positive and the experience worths. We were lucky enough to see some animals that hardly appear ( Serval, Dwarf Mongoose, etc.) for others like the classic Big Five, our guides from Africa Safaris were experts on locating them. The landscape is spectacular!! The capital city Nairóbi will not disappoint you. Our only regret, we did not have enough time to see all the country, so the littoral is still waiting for a visit, maybe next time.

Wonderful!!
Everything in Africa was as expected except hotter. The view of the animals was awesome. The food was terrific. Our travel company, Kruger Park Travel, took very good care of us.

Incredible
Regional Tours is the way to go. Although obviously not guaranteed, we saw the big 5 animals and many many more. There seemed to be a constant flow of some kind of animal to look at, and if not the scenery was always beautiful and unique to what I am used to. We went during the short rains period, but only got rained on once for maybe 10 minutes, but honestly I wouldn't have minded more. Seeing a small storm or rain clouds closing in on you from the plains of the Serengeti was just another surreal view. Our accommodations were more than enough. We chose the private luxary tour. Kubu Kubu was by far our favorite, but all were great. Food was enjoyable. The toyota land cruiser was nice and provided the two of us more than enough room. The best part of our safari was no doubt our guide. Novatus from Regional tours was the best, and he is no doubt what made our safari so incredible. Fun to talk to, super informative on anything, great sense of humor, interesting the list goes on. Looking back on our safari i think the Tour guide could be a make or break for us, Nova made it what it was. We had so many highlights and our safari along with Nova will be in our memories forever. Thank you Regional Tours.

An unforgettable vacation
We booked our safari through Serene Safaris and could not have had a more wonderful time. The professionalism of the Agency (Peter) was magnificent throughout....from the planning (and the many questions) to the arrangement and accommodations for the safari were perfect. Our guide (Peter - different Peter) was absolutely wonderful. Knowledgeable not only in the wildlife but on everything Kenya. There wasn't a question he could not answer, was always super pleasant, knew the parks like the back of his hand and knew the patterns and favorite locations of the animals during any portion of the day. We booked a six day journey and traveled to Nakuru National Park, Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli. We saw all the animals (hundreds of elephants, giraffes, zebras, warthogs, antelopes, gazelles and many others) and some unforgettable sites along the way. The trips in between the parks we were able to see Kenya both old and new. We traveled in a Toyota safari van which was a great way to travel. The accommodations that were arranged were very comfortable, clean with hot water and wifi at each location. The food was plentiful and good. The weather during our trip could not have been better with clear warm days everyday. The last morning at Amboseli we had a breath taking view of Mount Kilimanjaro which made for a great family photo. The people of Serene Safaris really did a great job and I highly recommend them. Our sincere thanks to Peter and Peter for an unforgettable family vacation!!! WELL DONE!!

Wonderful tour that saw the Big 5!
We overall had a wonderful safari with African Celebrity Tours. I contacted many tour guides but ultimately went with African Celebrity Tours due to their good reviews and they are KATO certified. The communication was timely and clear and they allowed me to customize one of their tours to fit in Amboseli in the same amount of time.
We did a private safari in a Jeep which si the way to go in my opinion. Our guide Joseph was wonderful - he had 20 years of experience and knew how to track the animals himself so we were often the first car to arrive at sightings. We went to Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara and managed to see the Big 5 up close and also saw a cheetah, numerous hippos and lots of babies (because it was December).
For the price, this was an extremely good safari and I would definitely book with them again.

Working with Spirit of Kenya made this unbelievable experience a reality.
Our safari in Kenya surpassed all my expectations. If we had questions Susanna from Spirit of Kenya promptly returned our emails and gave us the answers we needed, made it easy for us to submit our payment and arranged our transportation from the airport to our hotel and scheduled our itinerary to meet our needs. We stayed in Tsavo West at the Salt Lick Game Lodge and Serena Safari Lodge in Amboseli. The food and accommodations were excellent and the people were all very nice. Our tour guides Charles and Moses made this special trip even better by their knowledge of the land and the animals. We were a group of eight and divided our driving time between the two of them. They spotted animals before any of us did, stopped for us to take pictures and seemed to enjoy us as much as we enjoyed them! We saw a vast array of animals...zebras, elephants, giraffes, lions, a leopard!...and many, many more. Every day we saw something new and exciting. I suggest wearing very comfortable clothing, you’ll be in a Jeep for a lot of fun filled hours! Just an incredible experience!!
